HCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 5000 IU

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a high-purity peptide supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed 3 mL glass vial containing 5000 IU. It is intended for laboratory research and in vitro applications only and is not approved for human or veterinary use.

HCG is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone composed of two protein subunits (alpha and beta). The beta subunit gives HCG its unique biological properties, while the hormone’s glycosylated structure contributes to its stability and receptor-binding activity. Its molecular weight is approximately 36.7 kDa.

Laboratory Research Applications

HCG has been widely used in scientific research involving:

• LH/CG receptor (LHCGR) activation studies
• cAMP signaling pathway research
• ERK1/2 phosphorylation analysis
• Steroidogenesis and reproductive biology
• Cell culture and animal model research
• Immunoassay development and hormone quantification

Intended Use

This product is intended strictly for laboratory research and educational purposes. It is not intended for human consumption, clinical treatment, veterinary use, or cosmetic applications.

Store the unopened vial at 25°C or below in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.

After reconstitution with an appropriate sterile solution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to help preserve product stability.
